Price comparison

Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.

Billing	A30	RTX 4070	Difference
On-demand	$0.69 /GPU/hr from $0.41	$0.15 /GPU/hr from $0.11	78% cheaper on RTX 4070
Reserved	$0.58 /GPU/hr from $0.38 (12 mo)	No reserved listings
Spot	-- /GPU/hr from $0.29	-- /GPU/hr from $0.07

Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Medians are across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one. No median for spot on the A30 and spot on the RTX 4070: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
